My professional use of social media and communication tools

Challenge to Learn

I noticed that I use more and more social media tools and different tools to communicate. Maybe I use too many of them. So I decided to create a list of them to see what I could weed out.

BYOD and e-learning: Three pointers for avoiding a ‘future shock’

CLO Magazine

We asked our LinkedIn members: When you’re stuck with an outdated LMS, is it better to build or buy? Why? Here’s what a few had to say.
